Guest greengrass123 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Guy who wrote brendon chase Denys watkins pitchford, was a regular writer for shooting times under the pen name of BB .He was a keen shot and angler, loads of other books by this author, worth a read.

neil cooney 10,416 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I probably read Brendan Chase several times and know my 11 year old daughter has just finished and is reading Manka the sky gypsy. Anyone ever read that? Also by BB. A must for anyone with an interest in wild fowling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
